An ADR training for ASEAN Judges entitled ‘Court Dispute Resolution: a one-stop training on Alternative Dispute Resolution’ was held from 23 to 25 February 2016 at the Supreme Court of Singapore.

The initiative was launched under the auspices of the ASEAN Chief Justices’ Meeting Working Committee on Judicial Training. The course was conducted by the Singapore Judicial College (SJC), jointly organised with CIArb, and sponsored by the Singapore Cooperation Programme and Supreme Court of Singapore.

“The Singapore Judicial College is delighted to have co-organised this ADR training with CIArb.

“We’ve had feedback that the instructors from CIArb (comprising Datuk Sundra Rajoo, Mr Richard Tan, Mr Francis Xavier SC and Ms Camilla Godman) were not only extremely conversant with the latest developments in international arbitration, they were also committed to ensuring that the participants fully benefited from the CIArb sessions on arbitration.”

CIArb Director for Asia Pacific Camilla Godman added:

“This is a fantastic initiative led by the ASEAN Chief Justices to grow the knowledge of ADR amongst ASEAN Judges.

“One of our aims is for better integration between the ASEAN states in the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards.

“We were very lucky to have both the Patron of CIArb, The Honourable Chief Justice of the Singapore Supreme Court, Sundaresh Menon and the President of CIArb, Datuk Professor Sundra Rajoo involved in delivering the training, as well as the immediate and past Chairs of the CIArb Singapore Branch.”
